Getting the perfect sized curls requires the right size Curling Iron.
Tight,Spiral Curls-use a 3/4 in sized iron


Medium Curls- use a 1in-1 1/4 in sized iron

Loose Curls- use a 1 1/2-2 in sized iron

No matter what type of curl you want to rock that day,try these tips to help the curls hold while having them be bouncy and touchable.
Holding hairspray at least 6 in away and spray a section of hair with a workable spray like Sebastian Shaper, Big Sexy Hair spray and play. Lightly brush through the section with a flat paddle brush. Curl the section of hair and hold for 12-15 seconds. Release hair from iron,but let your hair cool before touching the curls.
Once your done curling your entire head-lightly scrunch if your doing tight curls; lightly rake through if your doing medium to loose curls(you don't want the curls looking too perfect which can resemble prom or wedding style). Finish off with a medium hold spray like #SebastianShaperPlus,#SexyHairSpray&Stay.
Stay fabulous!!

Frizz Free Summer Hair!

This is Fabulous for giving lift and volume while keeping your hair shiny and frizz free!
It is one of my Favorite Summer styling products I keep in my bag and I love to use on my models before a photo shoot, or a client before her big Red Carpet Moment is Aveda Phomollient styling foam!

It’s amazing because it’s light weight and doesn't leave your hair feeling super stiff or sticky. It's a little bit more expensive compared to some other styling products you can find at any convenient drug store shelf, but I guarantee that those few extra dollars you spend on this product will leave other in a daze, and leaving your hair feeling and looking beautiful for any time of the day. Another amazing thing about it and why I love it so much is cause you don't have to use all that much so a bottle it going to last awhile. I know that the package says it’s for fine hair but take it  from me a professional Hairstyles and makeup artist that it also works on thick and wavy just fine. You will love the extra volume and body your hair has when using this product, it really keeps your hair from turning into a big frizzy mess on those humid summer days.
Here are some simple instructions for using this product,
•Do not shake the bottle.                                                                       
•Spray 1-2 pumps into your hand
•Apply the product  to your damp hair.
•Rub your hands together to distribute evenly.
•Distribute near the roots for added lift.
•Use a round brush and blow dry your hair to create volume.
•Alternatively, use a diffuser while blow drying to create soft curls that keep their shape. Or you can simply just distribute it evenly through your hair and style it to your preference without applying heat.
Ta-da! Gorgeous hair!

And remember, simplicity is the luxury of beauty.

No heat waves

No Heat Waves

I have really straight hair and I am always envious of people with naturally wavy hair. So I guess I'll just have to fake it this time.

I start at night with damp hair and I put this Catwalk Curlesque Mousse in my hair from root to ends. I let my hair air dry a little longer before I put it into a loose messy bun. Then I get some beauty rest :).


When I wake up I let my hair down. It should be dry at this point, if it's not then use your diffuser till it is.

Then I spray some Living Proof Wave Shaping, Curl Defining Styling Spray through my hair. Then I use my fingers to kinda comb through my hair.


This is more of a messy wavy look, almost like a softer beach wave look. If you want more of a smooth, defined look you will probably have to use a curling iron (heat).

Hope your day isn't as messy as my hair! hehe :)

Xoxo
